The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-01-30

When a lady desires to order
costume made at any OF our large es-
adjustments, she finds herself in a
large, light and airy room, occupying
usually the whole of one end OF the
building. This apartment is richly
carpeted with Administer OF Brus-
sells; Persian rugs are strewn care
lessly about the floor; rich lounges
and easy chairs, handsome tables
and cabinets filled with choice arti-
Giles of brio a. brac, form the furni-
ture, while the smaller private apart
ments in which measurements are
taken and details settled are di-
vided by portieres Of plush or velvet.
Wardrobes in which hang the
highest novelties OF the French
modistes line the walls, and ladies
selected especially for the symmetry
OF their rooms are at hand to ex-
hibit more fully all the beauties Of
this gorgeous raiment.
Under such circumstances small
wonder is it if the purchaser is led
to invest in far more elegant and
costly toilet than is her intention
on entering, and she feels it almost a
privilege to be allowed to leave her
order.
Feather fans are not so we'll liked
at present as they were a month or
so ago, and gauze is is now the popu-
lar fancy. Some fans combine both;
the body of the fan is OF gauze, which
has designs of flowers and birds
painted upon it-occasionally by well
known artists-the tips are Of ostrich
feathers and the sticks olive wood,
inlaid in graceful arabesques Of gold
and silver.
Much more attention is paid to

NIGHT.

All men must love thee. Night-the dulleSt
clown
Who bears the burden and the heat of day,
Counting the hours a they crawl away
From rosy morn TO golden hued shutdown;
The tired tOilers pent within the town,
Waiting the whistles or the bells that say
Their tasks are done; and all the young and
gay
Who long for thee to bring their pleasures
crown.
Rest, peace, wild gayety, and what remains
OF liberty TO men who wear life's chains;
Dreams that restore, deep sleep that soothes
our pains;
Thy tender mysteries Of dark and bright
Bewildering contrasts, make thee mems de-
liIht,
Days better half, womanly, witching Night.

riably settles dispute at once; theo-

here what appears In debate to be the

Guilty OF this kind once by saying:
"Mr. Jones, you have de flo now !;
next you, Mr.. Smith, and den you, Mr..

This was satisfactory, and the speak
ers were heard in the order announced.
A striking feature Of the meetings is
that when a delegate OF pronou need
ability contends for the floor he usu-
ally gets it by the sheer will OF the
house. Such men are Louis +. Post,
formerly editor of Truth; Prof. David
De Leon, Of Columbia College; DR.,

WILLIAM M'CABE.
The latter is an earnest, modest man,
a type setter BY trade, and one Of the
nioneers. He can make an excellent

nothing like labor convention to

Every man Of the delegates Is q

IN q single State that is now strug-

there are enough temperance people

We are opposed to any interference

enough for US, as far as it goes, and,
the truth is, it goes about as far, in
matters looking to the general good
of the country, as any OF its prede-

Of strength to make it broad enough
to afford the greatest good and to
make it inviting to the entire people
thereby precluding the necessity Of
any separate or independent political
organization, it lacks temperance

repairs to the old structure, will make
room for the prohibitionists.
